Budaun: In a shocking incident, a gang of armed men pretending to be patients looted an elderly doctor couple at gunpoint in their house near the busy Labella Chowk under the Sadar Kotwali police station area, police said on Thursday.
Around six miscreants, posing as patients entered the house of Dr Surendra Nath Govil and Dr Mridula Govil at around 7.30 pm on Wednesday. They dragged the doctor, sitting outside on the verandah, to the drawing room. His wife, who was in the kitchen, was also pulled in, and both were held hostage.

The culprits then tied the hands and legs of the couple with tape, and looted 40,000 cash and ornaments kept in a cupboard, police said, adding that they fled through the back passage which opens in front of the Jain temple.
The incident took place in Jogipura locality near Labella Chowk where the duo live alone, and also have their hospital, police said. Their two sons reside in Noida and Gurgaon.
All top officials, including the senior superintendent of police, reached the spot on receiving information about the incident. However, seven policemen have been suspended for negligence in duty.
After receiving the information about the robbery, Buduan senior superintendent of Police (SSP) OP Singh, SP City Amit Kishore Srivastava and circle officer Alok Mishra rushed to the spot to monitor the investigation.

During investigation, we found that there was negligence on part of the Kotwali police personnel, including the SHO. These policemen have been suspended with immediate effect. A departmental inquiry will be carried out against them by the additional superintendent of police (rural)," the SSP informed TOI.
